The Equalizer Season 2 Episode 3 Leverage

The Equalizer season 2 episode 3 titled "Leverage," follows Robyn McCall, played by Queen Latifah as she takes on yet another complicated case.

The episode begins with Robyn trying to juggle her duties as a single mother and Equalizer when she is approached by a man named Holt, who is seeking assistance in saving his son's life. Holt's son, Tyler, is suffering from a rare disease that requires an expensive surgery. Despite Tyler's insurance covering most of the expenses, the family cannot afford the remaining cost.

Robyn agrees to take on the case and begins to investigate to find a way to raise the necessary funds. As she digs deeper, she discovers that Tyler's insurance company is knowingly withholding the payment, citing a clause that states they won't cover any medical procedures carried out by non-certified surgeons. Knowing that Tyler's condition requires the expertise of a renowned surgeon, Robyn realizes that she needs to turn to one of her old friends, an ex-hacker named Harry.

Harry agrees to help Robyn access the insurance company's files, but as he delves deeper into the system, he discovers something even more sinister. The insurance company has been denying claims to hundreds of patients, including Tyler, under the guise of technicalities and obscure clauses in the policies. Fueled by a sense of justice, Robyn decides to take on the insurance company head-on.

To do so, she enlists the help of her team, which includes former CIA agent William Bishop (Chris Noth), her former NYPD detective friend Mel (Liza Lapira), and Harry. Together, they embark on a daring and complex plan to expose the insurance company's dirty tactics and force them to pay Tyler's medical expenses.

The plan involves the team breaking into the insurance company's headquarters and using their knowledge and expertise to expose the company's fraudulent practices. The plan is risky, and there are several moments of tension and close calls as the team navigates the building's security. At the same time, Robyn also has to deal with personal issues, including her relationship with her daughter and her past mistakes.

The episode concludes with the team successfully exposing the insurance company and securing the necessary funds for Tyler's surgery. Robyn also reconciles with her daughter and confronts her past mistakes, leading to a cathartic moment of growth and self-realization.

Overall, "Leverage" is a tense and thrilling episode that showcases Robyn's resourcefulness and determination to restore justice. It also explores her personal struggles as a single mother and Equalizer, adding depth and dimension to her character. The episode is a testament to the power of teamwork and the importance of fighting for what is right, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
